Once you have Mumble installed and are connected to the RPS server, join the Games > Natural Selection 2 channel.

I'd recommend you install and join Mumble, even if you don't have a mic, because it keeps the group together and you get notified if we decide to change server or something. (Also you miss out on any really cool jokes that are being told).

I don't think I can make this Sunday since this specific weekend is pretty busy, but Sundays in general should be good. It would be awesome for me if it could start an hour earlier too, since I'm on GMT+2, but it's not a big deal.

If 7pm UTC is better for others as well, speak up. 8 suits me better personally (I may be a little late if we have it at seven) but whatever suits the group better, and gets a greater number of people playing is the priority.

Yeah, as airtekh says our event schedule is not set in stone yet. We'll maintain sunday for this week and see if we have more or less players than last time. The group is still fresh and new so everything can be adjusted to get the maximum people playing.

As said though, I probably won't make it to this week's meeting as my weekend is packed with stuff. Of course, if you want to test the time that's better for me and see how it goes, I'm certainly not going to object

8pm UTC works out better for me, but if it serves the cause I don't mind 7pm either. I might have to join a little later.
Airtekh, maybe make an announcement on steam, to have something pop up on the overview page, otherwise some ppl might miss the event that don't check on this thread regularly?
Looking forward to sunday night!

Once again, I had a great time yesterday. Thanks again to all for coming. We had a steady 8 people in Mumble for most of the session.

I had a thought afterwards, and if we pick servers to play on that have high playercounts (eg. 18, 20) then we should have a better chance of getting everybody on the same team. We had a couple of problems with that.

It would be nice to have a no-stress game for the new players, so they can learn things without pressure. We nearly had that yesterday, but when people start joining the server we had to start playing more seriously.

Again, what we could do is get someone with fast connection to host a game, or we could look into getting a private server.

I think there was a verbal agreement over Mumble for Sunday 8pm GMT as the next event.

I had a blast too!
About that server thing: I had my connection upgraded to VDSL today (actual DL-speed is 42.967 kbit/s, actual UL-speed is 4.687 kbit/s) and I also upgraded my CPU to an i5-2500K which is running at 4.2 Ghz. I have no experience whatsoever with running a server, but it seems to be simple enough in NS2. If you think my equipment and connection is up to it I'd be happy to give it a shot!
